Saying I disagree is a worthless statement. Tell us what you do agree with. Go ahead and give us your logical reason for why UGA football players with fast cars seem to make the news more than players at other schools that recruit the same athletes from the same places and the same backgrounds and the same means to afford fast cars.

When you've identified something that distinguishes UGA from those other places, other than law enforcement or media coverage, we may be getting close to a solution for an age old problem. I'll write it down and send a letter to Kirby.

OP was implying that reporters around some other programs don't report about football players getting arrested.

What you're blabbering about, I'm still not exactly sure.

That's not what he said or implied. He's saying that there are some media organizations who over report UGA traffic issues and such, and he's right. But, assuming your take, he's also right. "Reporters" cover things up every day, including college football beat reporters. Their business is propaganda, not information, and they filter their output to fit someone's agenda. What they don't report is more important than what they do report. Like, for example, not reporting all the times college football players don't get arrested or cited, which gives law enforcement more flexibility.

I'm sure there are things that don't get reported about UGA football too, but not as much as some places because a couple of media orgs dig hard for every piece of UGA dirt.

That's just clinically delusional to think that beat writers at Alabama or Florida or whatever program cover it up when players in those programs getting arrested for traffic shite, and the information never gets out, which just makes it seem like Georgia football has more traffic-related arrests. Might as well put on a tin foil hat and move back in to your mom's basement and buy a carton of Pop Tarts.

Are you drinking right now, or just can't read what I wrote? Is misrepresenting the debate just your schtick? I said that reporters cover up things every day. I didn't say they "cover up arrests", because that's on the public record, correct? They may not write a headline about every citation for a moving violation , which is what some UGA football reporters have done. Most places they don't turn their football coverage into a vendetta, which some UGA beat writers and reporters have done in recent years.

What "journalists" do cover up is things that aren't in the official govt public record. In the case of sports beat writers, in some places they continuously cover for football players who drive around town at high speeds but don't get arrested, who receive warnings, or a ride home at 2am when they're high. They cover for players who drive like fools, talk shite to the officers and walk away with a citation when the charges could've been much worse. Sometimes they cover for players who commit serious crimes and go uncharged, if the victims cooperate. Local law enforcement can only operate that way with the understanding that the relevant media organizations are friendly and won't make a fuss. It happens everywhere, but less for UGA football players than in some other SEC college towns. Draw a circle around Athens with a radius of 350 miles and you'll find several of those.

I tell you one thing, I drive from all over into Georgia and I see more law in the Peach State than anywhere else and it's not close. Once saw 50 state troopers between Chattanooga and Macon.... Just lined up on 75 all the way.

I hit over 100mph headed out S Milledge from Jameson North going towards the botanical gardens in an 84 Prelude more than once jacked up on all kinds of shite listening to Nine Inch Nails. Then turned around and did it again. Lucky to be alive.

Teenaged boys are stupid as shite.
